Here's what I am thinking, Spoons. Landlocked salmon have basically the same behavior as their ocean cousins. So, next time I am going to use the same techniques that we use every summer fishing for coho on the Olympic Peninsula. A green spatter-back hoochie, obviously smaller than the ocean variety, behind a flasher trolled at 2.5 or faster. Maybe the reason that even though they plant 150,000 +- each year, but coho are usually an "incidental" catch, is because we don't specifically target them. The only puzzler for me is what to do to match the small fillet of herring used on the lead hook in the ocean. Maybe shoepeg or a piece of worm with herring scent? Hope someone who has figured 'em out responds. They're so much more fun than a trout ever thought ov being! Mike
